July 11 (Reuters) – The British government said on Tuesday it would provide a 50 million pound ($64.7 million) support package for the repair of equipment and the establishment of a military rehabilitation center in Ukraine.
Under the new tranche of support, which will be discussed at this week’s NATO summit, Britain and G7 members will provide thousands of additional rounds of Challenger 2 munitions and more than 70 combat and logistics vehicles.
These programs will be funded through NATO’s Comprehensive Assistance Package for Ukraine and supported by rehabilitation specialists from across the Alliance, the British government said in a statement.
This joint declaration is expected to be signed by all members of the G7, according to the statement. The declaration will set out how the allies will support Ukraine in the coming years to end the war.
“Supporting Ukraine’s progress on the path to NATO membership, along with formal, multilateral and bilateral agreements and the overwhelming support of NATO members will send a strong signal to President Putin and bring peace back to Europe,” he said. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
